The Vogue/Valentino tea and trunk show

Guests arrived in pairs—mother-daughter pairs, that is—for the Vogue/Valentino tea in Los Angeles this weekend, hosted at the Chateau Marmont by Lisa and Nathalie Love, Gia Coppola and Jacqui Getty, and Kelly and Shane Lynch. Jewelry designer Liseanne Frankfurt brought her daughter Ines; Shiva Rose came with daughter Colette, and photographer Tierney Gearon had three-year-old Grace in hand. “Gabrielle couldn’t decide what she wanted to wear,” said Katherine Ross of her young daughter after the duo ducked in late.

As the Sophia Loren mother-daughter adventure Two Women, screened in the background, guests Michele Hicks, Abigail Spencer, Laura Love (in Valentino for the occasion), model NataliaBonifacci, and Jessica Joffe previewed the Valentino Spring 2011 collection. After the presentation, shopping, of course, ensued. Caroline Bell pointed out her favorite lace-and-sequin mini to her mother, Colleen; Jane Ross perused the racks, and Eva Chow ordered a jacket and shoes for her daughter, Asia. One might think Pamela Levy’s son, Noah, would have felt a bit out of place surrounded by women and beautiful clothes, but he made the most of it by ordering room service and flirting with all the girls.
